Welcome to my blog, Yankee 2.0. I'm a New Englander trying to get back in touch with my Yankee roots of thrift and common sense, and trying to resist the lure of modern consumer culture. I'll be blogging about my financial goals (paying off all my debt in order to get "off the grid" when it comes to money and live on a cash-only basis), shopping (trying to live stylishly on a strict budget), work (necessary evil), and restoring my big and drafty Victorian home -- not to mention how on earth I'll heat it this winter.
I'm a long-time reader of the Dollar Stretcher, and have been following the Dave Ramsey snowball method for a while now. I'm really excited to share my story as I try to get out of debt and into a less consumption driven life.
